College Counseling

Guidance Team

The Guidance Office at Forge Christian High School cultivates and maintains a vibrant college-readiness culture.

Our primary goal is to help our students do their best academically and “pass life,” including encouraging student development in their convictions, character, and community. We promote academic achievement, career development, and personal growth through relationships with each student. The Guidance Team works collaboratively with parents/guardians, teachers, staff, and administration to help students mature mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Our focus is on the following:

  • Supporting college aspirations
  • Academic Planning for College and Career
  • Encouraging extracurricular engagement
  • Facilitating college and career exploration and selection
  • Providing college and career assessments
  • Discussing college affordability and planning
  • Navigating the college admissions process
  • Making the transition from high school to college or other post-secondary options
